If you have two dependents you can claim them. Your age does not prevent you from claiming dependents.

IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed:

As xmasbaby0 stated, if you have two qualifying dependents you can claim them. If you are asking if you can claim dependents based on your age and status as a widow, the answer is no. However, since you are at least age 65, your Standard Deduction is increased by $1,850 to $15,700.
